I was approached by another dad whose kid attended a local private HS telling me that the school was "highly motivated" for my DD to play her Sr. season there. Recruiting for sports purposes is prohibited, which basically means I would need to initiate contact with coach. This private HS routinely competes for a state title and would have been nice for DD. Her HS team never once made the playoffs and would have been really nice for her to play in the post season. I ultimately decided nah. I needed that $14K. Looking back at her senior year, the softball season was a complete Sh$t show with a new inexperienced coach and bunch of not so motivated players. I should have moved her!!!In high school, to get my daughters on a different team would mean selling my house and moving to a different town, or sending them to a private school. So if your kid is in a bad high school situation, and you're looking at 2 or 3 more years of it, it gets frustrating.
